Search tesla enthusiast page online for Tesla owners and visit www.teslamotors.com for Tesla dealership near you. Depending how successful your negotiations, you may be able to save money on a used vehicle.

But before buying a used Tesla Model S ask for average range as reported by the previous owner, average cost to charge, and whether the used charger is available for sale. Keep in mind chargers that plug into your regular outlet in the garage takes approximately eight hours to fully charge the battery and a charger using 240v can do the same in four hours. Owners also indicate that they average less than the published range.
